CHESTER – Your pooch doesn’t have to be a pro to enjoy the first Adirondack Woof Stock.

While the event is drawing professional dog disc catching and athletic canine competitors, there will be plenty of opportunities for the novice – and the human – to have some fun.

The Tri-Lakes Business Alliance is in the final stages of putting together what is expected to be a major draw to Chester and the Adirondacks in the first ever “weekend of peace, paws and music,” as the event slogan goes.

Carol Theater: Not Too Far From Home Comedy benefitting the North Warren School’s Performing Arts Club was a success and the TLBA will be giving the school +/- $1700 for the upcoming trip the group is taking. Comedians loved the crowd and the theatre and would like to come back so we might be booking them for another show in the future.

The Rotary gave the TLBA a check for $300 for all of the events our group organizes. Congratulations to George Stannard as the new Rotary President and Many, Many thanks as the TLBA is run totally on donations, fundraisers and the time and effort of our local business owners and citizens, and this donation is greatly appreciated!

ATV Ride: May 30th starting at the Tin TeePee at 10 AM followed by cookout at 5. Donations for door prizes for both events that day are needed so let us know if you can help! Proceeds will benefit new Electric Sign fund (for in front of the NW Chamber building). Again, help is needed to make this event go smoothly so volunteer a few hours if you can! Read more →
